The Boy on the Bus
by Deborah Schupack

The Free Press, 2003.

  Hardcover book in near fine condition with dust jacket in same condition.  Book is 215 pages long. Pages are crisp and clean like it hasn't been read.   

BOOK DESCRIPTION: With this unexpectedly impressive debut novel of psychological mystery, Schupack boldly announces her presence at the table of writers who deserve to be heard. Meg Landry expected it to be a day like any other-her asthmatic 8 year old son would step off the bus, home from school. But on this day, the boy on the bus is not is not Meg's son - or at least doesn't appear to be. This new boy shares Charlie's copper hair, tea brown eyes, and slight frame. But there is something profoundly, if indefinably, different about him. He has a finer nose, his skin is shinier, and his face looks more mature, as if he has grown into being Charlie more than the real Charlie ever had. In the wake of Meg's quiet alarm, her far flung family returns home, and a jangly unease sets in. Neither Charlie's father nor his rebellious sister can help Meg settle the question of the boy. They look to her for certainty--after all, shouldn't a mother know her own child? In this daring novel, Deborah dissects a family stretched out along the seams of postmodern small town life. With the precision of a literary wordsmith, Schupack has crafted an extraordinary tale of a mother's love for her son and a mystery that may ultimately rip them apart. Tense and atomspheric, this debut is a rare combination of intellectual sophistication and page-turning suspense.

Synopsis
In this short novel, Meg is a bored and anxious housewife whose small son suddenly no longer seems to be himself. He looks like Charlie, but he seems bizarrely unacquainted with his family and friends. How Meg copes with this unsettling development is the essential subject of this novel of psychological suspense.

Publisher's Note
Noting strange differences in the boy who returns home from school that makes her suspect he is not her son, Meg Landry is unable to get support for her fearful theory from her husband or her rebellious teenage daughter.

Industry reviews
"...Schupack boldly announces her presence at the table of writers who deserve to be heard....Etched with clear prose that recalls Doris Lessing at her most haunting. An astounding and horrific first novel."
Kirkus Reviews  (12/15/2002)

"...Deborah Schupack's strange, unsettling, lyrical novel defies simple paraphrase....From beginning to end in this novel, nothing is ordinary, while at the same time everything is."
New York Times Book Review - Matthew Flamm (04/06/2003)
